It’s back to school week this week for my family. My youngest is now in grade one and going to school five days a week for the first time. I’m going to miss my little man while he’s at school all day. My middle son is going into grade 7 and my daughter into grade 9 (first year of highschool…yikes!). So with so much on my plate this week as we transition back into some sort of a schedule…blah do I have to?…I’m going to try and keep this short and sweet :)

I did want to tell you about a wonderful new menu planning resource I just recently discovered. It’s called The Organized Family Menu Planner and it’s a book of planning pages specifically for menu planning and creating a grocery list. I wrote more about it over here where you’ll find all the details and the opportunity to purchase if you’re interested. You’ll need to log in/sign up to see this week’s offer.

Here’s a photo of the inside in action. I love the perforated grocery lists that accompany each week.

Yum! Your menu looks great. My oldest just started her senior year. It is so crazy…. I’m sure your daughter will do great at high school. The biggest change in my kids when they started high school was that they all of a sudden wanted to sleep until noon every single day! It is still hard to get them up in the mornings, lol.

My daughter started 7th grade last week and we’re still trying to find our school sea legs. It’s amazing how much I missed the routine as summer came to an end but am already wishing we were back to the flexibility that comes with no school. I wish I could have it both ways!

We’re having tacos this week to, a family favorite at our house. My son is a senior this year, and my daughter started 9th grade, but I home school, so it’s not very stressful, or hard to get back into the routine. Thanks for hosting MPM and have a great week!

I adore your site. I am a natural organizer and I enjoy sites like these that give me ideas that I might not think about or entertain. You have some great cute and helpful link ups. Thanks for hosting it. I will have to join next go around! I am in the middle of a consignment garage project. ;) Happy Cooking!

Yay, I managed to whip out a menu plan for this week — before Monday’s over! LOL I’ll be checking out the other yummy goodness submitted to Menu Plan Mondays. Feel free to check mine out as well! Thanks!

Hey, there it is. It’s taken me two days to find this week’s meal plans. Apparently, for some reason, this week’s menus didn’t link to the Menu Plan Monday page I have bookmarked. Glad to see that all is well. Now, what’s cooking….

I have four kids. Two in middle school and two in middle school. I don’t know how people get through the school year without a menu plan and a shopping list. We have been back at school for a few weeks and are still getting the hang of getting up early.
